Exercise daily or only on weekends, not much difference

 Exercise is undoubtedly a panacea for achieving good health. You will also often get advice regarding this. For example, if you work sitting all day, then do it every day, do such exercises to lose weight or do different exercises every day for overall health. Along with this, it is also told that exercise should be done for so many hours every day. These exercise recommendations are based on average data from thousands of people, and they work well for most people.

Survey done on 3.5 lakh people in 18 years

Between 1997 and 2013, data was collected from more than 3.5 lakh people through the US National Health Interview Survey.

Often people also try to adopt all the recommendations, but the problem of people around the world related to exercise is that there is no time for it. There is good news for such people. Scientists collected data from more than 3.5 lakh people between 1997 and 2013 through the US National Health Interview Survey.

Exercise physiology researchers at the Federal University of Brazil found the same fact in these data: if you are getting enough physical activity and getting enough exercise every week as recommended, does it matter if you do this exercise on the last two days of the week? do it?

There is not much difference in the health of both types of people

People who exercise on weekdays or weekends have a lower risk of death.

According to the study's author Mauricio Dos Santos, we found little difference in the health of people who did moderate to vigorous exercise daily and those who exercised at the end of the week. Both types were found to have a lower risk of death from all causes, especially in the case of cancer and heart disease.

Santos suggests that the same amount of physical activity done over a longer period of time, or compounded into a limited number of days, does not affect mortality. Instead of worrying about how often or when you should exercise, you have to make sure that you try to meet the amount of physical activity mentioned each week. That's when the benefits of exercise are most clearly visible in your body.

How many minutes of exercise a week is necessary?

According to WHO, adults should get 75-150 minutes of vigorous exercise every week.

The World Health Organization (WHO) guideline states that adults should get 150-300 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75-150 minutes of vigorous exercise every week. The results of the latest research show that people who do physical activity, whether on weekends or days, live longer than those who are inactive.
